I presently have a 1982 351w short block that I was planning to use in my scratch build gt40, but I have been told that the 351s have to much torque for an audi 016 (that I also have)and are to tall ,with a stock front-sump oil pan, to fit in a gt40. I have a line on a 1997 5.0 explorer engine...

I was thinking about using my 351W in my scratch build GT40. I would like some advice on whether an 016 Audi trans. will handle the power from a mildly built 351? Or would a 302 be a better option? I already have a 351W and 016 Audi. Any input on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Steve

Got a question for you guys. I've scratch built two street rods, a '23 T-bucket and an A/C Cobra. I was thinking about selling one of the cars to help finance my planned GT40 scratch build. Have any one of you had any experience with selling a scratch built vehicle and dealing with the...

Re: Any help please Can anyone tell me if an original dimensioned body would fit the chassis shown in the (any help please) posting? I am thinking about using some of the measurements for my scratch build plans.I have heard that there may be some errors in them. Thanks Steve;

The ball joints I am referring to are actually for camber (not caster) adjusting . Sorry about the mistake. The ones I am looking for have the small taper on the end that engages the front spindle (knuckle), and the other mount is a threaded male stem that engages the A arm. I hope this is a...

I was wondering If anyone can tell me where I can purchase ball joints with the male stem on them. I am refering to the kind that thread into the A arms, for caster adjustment. So far all I can locate are the press in type, the bolt in type,or the type that the body threads into the A arm. The...

Does anyone have pictures of the mark I (early verses late model bodies). I would like to see what the differences are, as I am trying to decide on a body for my scratch build. Thanks Steve;

Jim S Could I get the J-peg design for the plate also my e-mail is [email protected] Thanks Steve;

I understand how anti dive is set up ( side view looking at the pivot points of the A arms) . The more the upper A arm angles down at the back the more anti dive. My question is, looking down at the car , if the A arm pivot points are angled in at the front,( as the are on the E.R.A. ), does...

I guess I should have said , with the pivots not parallel with the centerline of the car, does this effect anti dive? It looks like the era only has a small amount of anti dive. What percent is recommended in a street driven gt-40? Thanks Steve;

The picture shows a design similar to what I was planning. With the pivots not being parallel, what effect does this have on the anti dive. I can see that angling the upper pivot point down on the back gives you anti dive, but will angling the pivots have any effect? Thanks Steve;

I am currently working in chassis design and wanted to know some opinions on antidive. I noticed that many of the chassis on the forum have little or no antidive built into them. Is antidive something I would desire in a road driven car,or not? Also,does tapering the frame together at the front...

Phil, can I ask where you purchased the body pannels from. I am currently in the planning stages of a scratch build,and looking at all the avenues for a body, and any info on chassis design. I currently finished a cobra scratch build with mustang II front suspension. I am not a purist, so doner...

Has anyone found any big dimension errors on the Brian Wolff plans. I too am using them as a bassis for my plans, and any info would be appreciated. Also, does anyone know if original body measurements will fit this frame? Thanks Steve;

I am new to this site , and thinking about a scratch built gt-40. Just finished a scratch cobra( classic body, fe big block.) I was thinking the mustang II front and thunderbird rear also. Wanted to know if you got anywhere on chassis design , and where is the best place to purchase a body. Can...
